Cayton Bay

Updated Sun 11 Oct, 19:36

Three breaks in one sandy bay. Bunkers, at the south end, has fast, bowly sandbar A-frames for a couple of hours either side of high tide. The Point, at the northern tip, is a heavy, barrelling left over a shallow ledge at high tide, for experts only. At low tide an outer reef cuts off most of the swell. It needs a north to north-easterly swell and a south-westerly wind. The high tide cuts off the beach.
